Video tutorial

Before proceeding with the replacement of the cushion drives (this replacement is necessary when there is a slight play in the rotation between the wheel and the chain sprocket) in the Yamaha AT 660X, it is best to secure the bike in a stable position to ensure the operator's safety.

Then, remove the rear wheel and simply slide off the sprocket.

Inside, you will find the old cushion drives, which you should remove. Now, clean the inside of the drive joint housing and fit the new joints.

Refit the sprocket and reassemble the wheel, and you're done!
